  • FYI there is massive inflation in computer components in just 1 month. RAM prices are 200% higher. If every TSMC wafer needs 8 times more memory than previous averages, and it is skewed towards the most expensive/specialized HBM memory, then even if AI chips get better, AI systems will be even more expensive per unit/tokens per second than they were earlier this year, and no actual advancement in AI will occur.

    There is no AI bubble if the government buys out all of the overpriced datacenter time for surveillance and military purposes. There is a huge bubble in rest of economy, energy costs, public debt/spending levels, and people/businesses being able to afford computers, phones, and their own AI needs.






  • Conspired with Russians

    Never allow this disinformation to permeate. Epstein was key Israel intelligence/leadership figure. Barak would take orders/suggestions from him to not inform Mossad leadership of his information/tactics. The funding for his honeypot blackmail program came from the circular US aid to Israel to US political interference/domination programs of Israel.

    US oligarchy allying with Zionazi control of US is simply their path to pilfer all of US wealth, because if money equals speech, then money = zionazi+allies control.



  • Did not like this.

    1. “Just give me a grenade” should have been understood as sarcastic. But even a peaceful people would recommend alternative means of “peaceful mining excavation projects”.

    2. absurd that they would comply with giving her an atomic bomb.

    A peaceful people would still have genuine security concerns, especially from an entity with proven hostility towards them.

    Direction of show seems to make the strawman “peace is stupid” because the people who have peaceful attitudes must be stupid.



  • ridiculous take. 90s were good because great money was made in the west through Yeltsin corruption of Russia.

    When no longer a client state, CIA/west took usual nazi diminishment attitutes towards it, and any Russian blind eye to neonazi click farms for GOP voting action, is simply not Russia’s obligation to stop western implosion.

    time when western libs finally understand Russia is not their friend.

    It is neoliberal majority that supports war on Russia, and embraces the propaganda, that the US ever stopped hating/diminishing Russia. The new definition of tankie is that supremacist war on Russia is deserved, and not even the point that it is a losing proposition matters. You’re a tankie even if you just don’t want to bankrupt the west, or the signal of losing a demonic war will embolden more resistance to warmongering justifies collapse for trying.


  • US policy is to suppress wages such that it is lower than overall inflation. Meaning profit/asset inflation and scarcity is good, wages bad.

    China had wage inflation of 2.8% in 2024, and is expected 5% in 2025. Overall CPI growth is just 0.2%. In such an environment, both consumer and business loans are safe because economy keeps growing despite deflation. Deflation also means higher profits for lender that is repaid. For homes/mortgages, deflation means lower interest rates which improves home affordability and sustains home values.

    In US, logic is to only lend to businesses who will enjoy extortionist pricing power, lower taxes, and oppression of their work force. The policy risks a stagnation spiral. Can’t afford all of the borrowers’ products and sales drop despite individual borrower extortion power.


  • This is the most ridiculous topic/attack in the history of cybersecurity.

    A LLM can be used to accuse someone without proof that their TLS traffic is on a banned/blackmailable topic.

    The way TLS works is that the actual LLM provider gets all of your decrypted traffic. They are already encouraged by government/NSA/political in groups/Mossad to share anything of interest, or to datamine for future considerations of interest.

    Even if this training dataset gets a 98% correct rate on whether you are a pervert, that should only be good enough to serve you ads for boner pills, until the minority report dystopia, just uses it against its political enemies.
